Lola Rose is a children's novel by Jacqueline Wilson, first published in 2003.

The family adopt new names to help prevent their father tracing them. Mum becomes Victoria Luck, Kenny becomes Kendall Luck (as it is easy for him to remember) and Jayni becomes Lola Rose Luck. The story deals with the issues of spousal and child abuse and cancer.

Famous quotes containing the word rose:
“I care not by what measure you end the war. If you allow one single germ, one single seed of slavery to remain in the soil of America, whatever may be your object, depend upon it, as true as effect follows cause, that germ will spring up, that noxious weed will thrive, and again stifle the growth, wither the leaves, blast the flowers, and poison the fair fruits of freedom. Slavery and freedom cannot exist together.”
—Ernestine L. Rose (1810–1892)
